A Russian missile hit an American electronics factory in Mukachevo, far western Ukraine, early Thursday, causing extensive damage and more than a dozen injuries. The strike occurred amid one of Russia's largest overnight air raids, which involved more than 570 drones and 40 missiles targeting civilian and energy infrastructure. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said a cruise missile struck the plant, called it an ordinary civilian enterprise and American investment that produced household items like coffee machines, and condemned the attack as ignoring global efforts to stop the war. Ukrainian media identified the company as Flex, and videos showed thick black smoke over the site near the Hungarian border.
KYIV, Ukraine A Russian missile slammed into an American electronics factory in a remote corner of far western Ukraine early Thursday, causing extensive damage and more than a dozen injuries, according to Ukrainian officials. The attack came as Russia carried out one of its largest airstrikes of the war, firing more than 570 drones and 40 missiles in an overnight barrage, according to the officials.
In his post on the Telegram messaging app, Zelenskyy called it an "ordinary civilian enterprise, an American investment. They produced such familiar household items as coffee machines." The Ukrainian leader went on to say that the Russian military "delivered this strike as if nothing had changed at all. As if there were no efforts by the world to stop this war."
